What Are My Odds Of Conceiving Twins?

Okay, so I was just wondering what my odds of conceiving twins would be. Here's my family history:
My Dad:
His mother (My grandmother) had a set of identical twins, although one died after being born. She also miscarried a set.
My Grandmother's Mother's sister had TWO sets of twins.
My Grandpa's aunt had TWO sets of twins also.
And, another set on my Grandma's side (unsure who's) was non-identical.
My Mom:
Twins are not very common over there but me and my mom can't remember if my uncle was a twin (we think he was) or if she had another child between my uncles. (the child died) and she doesn't talk about it much.
So, what are my odds of conceiving twins? I know they usually skip a generation and, if its common on the male side, he can pass it to his female child(ren). So, I was just wondering...and I also know there is no 100% for-sure prediction, I'm just looking for a ballpark(:
Thanks.
